| Subject: | Ray Allen electric trim servo |
I installed a Ray Allen servo in the elevator under an inspection cover.
The actuator rod exists the bottom and controls an approximately 10" section
of 1" extruded aluminum piano hinge.
Works great, lightweight, simple, unobtrusive and there's just a hidden
switch in the cockpit.

Scott,
If you just hook up the stick to bell crank the cables will ether be too tight
or too slack. The weight of the elevator when it is hooked to the bell crank will
take up the slack.
As far as the cable hitting the horz stab, just glue a piece of leather in that
place, and don't worry about it.

>(On the same subject of controls) I have looked at the geometry of the elevator
system and it does not work out. Do the control cables sag as you change stick
position. If you move the control stick forward 15degs. and back 15 degs.,
the cable push and pull is not even. This is because the cable on the back stick
connection comes under the 2" pulley, and the front cable goes over the top
of the pulley. The cables from the bell crank to the elevator do not work out.
they hit the front of the horizontal stabilizer and sag. What can be done to
fix this? Is it something to worry about. The bell crank on the original plans
under controls calls for the bearing to be 9" off the bottom. On the extended
fuse update 7-1/8". In another area it calls out 7". The lower it is the more
it rubs.

things and I have no idea what the top of the trim tab looked like or the
cockpit controls as the airplane was about 15 feet over my head.
Actually, for a retro-fit, the pulley system may be easier to install.
A very similar system is on John Doig's Piet. Photos at WestcoastPiet.
Here's the trim tab:

| Subject: | Request for Latex Paint Projects |
I know this is a little off post, but this is a flight simulator our EAA
Chapter just finished. This pic is in my shop and was before the decals
were applied. We used Sherwin Williams latex primer and finish paint. We
also used a short knap roller so we could get a flat
=9Cmilitary=9D look. Found that if you =9Cgo
over=9D the wet paint a second time, it creates a very flat look.
See the windshield in the picture, it has a fuzzy look, but for our
application, that=99s great. So apply one coat and let it get dry
before applying another one if you want a glossy finish.
This was our first attempt at latex, but after it turned out so good, I
don=99t think it will be our last.

Hi Steve
I can't answer why we have to fit jury straps at all let alone just one, I agree
they look wrong! I guess there is a good reason connected with the Jim Wills
design wing we use here though looking at photos of G-ADRA which has a solid
Bernie Pietenpol spar that has jury struts also, very confusing.
More weight to carry with these as well as image.
Cheers,
English Johnny
